WFP Income Fund Announces a 7.14% Net Annualized Return through October 31, 2016

November 2, 2016, Los Angeles, California – The WFP Income Fund, managed by Wilshire Finance Partners, paid investors a 7.14% net annualized non-compounded return through October 31, 2016. On a stand-alone basis for the month of October 2016, the fund delivered a 0.57% net return which is the equivalent of a 6.76% net annualized non-compounded return. The net annualized compounded return for the fund since its inception on September 23, 2013 through October 31, 2016 was 8.62%.

The WFP Income Fund is a short term alternative fixed income investment that seeks to protect the investor’s principal while also providing attractive risk-adjusted returns primarily through investments in loans secured by first trust deeds and mortgages within the United States.

The return obtained by the fund was on an unlevered basis and was primarily the result of interest income received on the first trust deeds and mortgages in the fund’s portfolio.

As of October 31, 2016, the portfolio had a weighted average loan-to-value of approximately 59.29% and a weighted average maturity of approximately 24 months. The fund had an average loan size of approximately $1,021,013, consisting of loans secured by residential, office, retail, light industrial and warehouse properties located predominantly in the State of California.

Through October 31, 2016 management identified one loan it has classified as substandard. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans that are also classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the lender will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Year-to-date 2016 the fund experienced approximately $15.4 million in loan repayments, representing 42.05% of the average portfolio balance through the period. Although the fund has redeployed most of the available cash from the loan repayments, those repayments continue to cause excess liquidity in the fund and at October 31, 2016 the fund held a cash position of 13.16% of total assets versus its target of approximately 2%.

Since the fund’s inception in September 2013 through October 31, 2016, the net asset value (NAV) of the WFP Income Fund remained stable and demonstrated no correlation to the stock markets or bond markets. Further, the NAV was not sensitive to changes in interest rates.

“On a stand-alone basis, the WFP Income Fund delivered a 6.76% net annualized non-compounded return in October 2016. Although this is below our target return it remains an attractive rate of return for investors seeking a conservative fixed income investment with monthly cash flow,” said Don Pelgrim, CEO of Wilshire Finance Partners.

“As reported in previous communications, the decline in the fund’s earnings over the last couple of quarters is a function of the volume of loan repayments,” Pelgrim added. “While timely repayment is the expected outcome in a good performing loan portfolio, carrying too high of a cash position in the fund creates a drag on earnings. That said, we have been successful in redeploying capital from repayments into new loans resulting in the fund’s cash position remaining relatively stable notwithstanding additional repayments in October.”

“Wilshire continues to seek new loan opportunities that will generate strong risk adjusted returns for our investors while maintaining our core philosophy of striving to protect their invested principal,” said Pelgrim. “As a result, although we may sacrifice a little yield in the shorter term, we will remain selective on the loans we believe are good investments for the fund’s portfolio.”
